Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Google Play, App Store, Steam, Reddit, YouTube, Twitch. Each count stands in a roughly known ratio to a population — one Play rating per ~45 players, one Steam review per ~35 owners — and the estimates below combine those readings, weighted by how much each source can be trusted to speak for the whole game. Read the range as the answer and the headline as its middle.

Storyline

Five years ago, Carl Johnson escaped from the pressures of life in Los Santos, San Andreas, a city tearing itself apart with gang trouble, drugs and corruption. Where filmstars and millionaires do their best to avoid the dealers and gangbangers. Now, it’s the early 90’s. Carl’s got to go home. His mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are all heading towards disaster. On his return to the neighborhood, a couple of corrupt cops frame him for homicide. CJ is forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets.

Frequently asked questions

How many people play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas?

We estimate that about 3,700,000 people have played Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas — plausibly between 160 and 43M. Around 15,000 of them play on a given day, in a range of 160 and 160K. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Google Play, App Store, Steam, Reddit, YouTube and Twitch rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas still active?

Yes. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is holding steady — it measured within a percent of where it was a week ago. We recheck every source daily, and the charts on this page show each platform's readings over time.

How are the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas player estimates worked out?

Nobody publishes player counts for mobile games, so we infer them. Each public count we can read is converted into a population using a documented ratio — roughly one Google Play rating per 45 people who played, one Steam review per 35 owners, one Discord member per 40 players — and the live counts (Steam concurrents, members online, Twitch viewers) are converted the same way into a daily figure. Those separate estimates are then averaged in proportion to how much each source can be trusted, which is why sources that disagree widen the published range instead of cancelling out. This page is built on 3 readings taken since August 8, 2026.
